Title: Greetings from Brisbane
Post by: misskatja on July 19, 2011, 05:55:50 am
Hi everyone,

I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I've ordered my TMX and hopefully the paperwork will be here any day so I can get my hands on it soon!

I'm Kate, live in Brisbane with DH Joel and DS Alex who is 2.5. I've always enjoyed cooking, but since DS was diagnosed with multiple allergies and severe food intolerances, cooking has become a real chore. I generally spend a lot of time preparing his meals as we can't feed him any pre-prepared foods, or even the same foods that DH and I eat.

DS follows a restricted form of the RPAH Elimination Diet, so in addition to salicylates, amines, glutamates and all additives, he also is intolerant of nuts, dairy, egg, soy and gluten. I'm looking forward to being able to do things like easily prepare rice milk with my TMX, and save a bunch of money that way.

I have several girlfriends who are all devotees of the magnificent TMX. I'm looking forward to being able to unshackle myself from the kitchen somewhat :)

Cheers,
Kate

Hi and welcome Kate. I'm sure the TMX will free you up a little and you will know exactly what you are giving your DS.

Hi Kate, Sounds like the TM is going to be a huge help to you with preparing your DS meals. I could imagine it would be difficult eliminating so may things from his diet. You will love the TM and it will soon become your best friend in the kitchen.

Welcome Kate! You'll find the Thermomix a life-saver with all those allergies!! Wow, that's tough. I have a lot of gf, df, soy free recipes on my site - you'd have to change the rapadura to white sugar/golden syrup though, and tweak them a bit more for the RPAH elimination diet. My sister's on that too and I really need to get some recipes posted for that - no time!! She made the most gorgeous carob brownies the other day - PERFECT texture! Must get the recipe off her - she made it up. :)

Thanks, everyone :)

I've seen the Quirky Cooking blog mentioned around the traps - a carob brownie would be a welcome addition to our repertoire :)
